It's time to turn some tables. On our Facebook page, we asked you to share your best cooking tips, hacks, and secrets. But we weren't prepared for the avalanche of brilliant ideas you shared. Here are a slew of our favorites, because it would be wrong not to keep them to ourselves:

"Flash freezing chopped or diced veggies, chicken strips, and fruit. Once frozen, put them in gallon bags and seal. Makes small meal prep so much easier. It's just me, and I have a crazy work schedule. So quickly prepared small meals are essential."
—Tony B.

"Invest in a small 1- or 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop. Makes perfect cookies and meatballs every time, all the same size!!!"
—Christine L.

"When I roast or smoke a cut of meat that has a fat cap (a brisket, or a shoulder, butt, etc.) I cut off the cap, season the roast, then return the cap to sit on top—and I score and season it as well. It is much easier to remove the cap off a cold piece of meat than when the roast is hot out of the oven."
—Laurin M.

"Homemade chicken stock makes a HUGE difference in just about everything. I save zip bags of bones and veggie scraps in the freezer till it fills the slow cooker, then roast the bones, add water and a half bottle of white wine, and simmer for a day. Mmmmm!"
